But... But... OSR SWORE to me that DeSantis would win the South and the only reason Trump won it in 2016 was because the vote was split... He INSISTED that my own "lived experience" as an actual Southerner was totally irrelevant, and that I didn't know what I was talking about when I said the GOP in the South is now a death cult which all but literally worships Trump and both intricately ties him to their religion and sees him as at least on the same level as their imaginary version of Christ, if not higher.
He also claimed the GOP was redeemable, and that Trump with a slightly more respectable composure (i.e. DeSantis) would be his party's savior. He insisted that he wouldn't have to make a choice between the party he inexplicably, bafflingly calls his own and the country he claims to be a citizen of. But as far as I'm concerned, the time for that choice is LONG since past. Anyone still unironically calling themselves a "Republican" might as well just say "I am an enemy of the state and a potential terrorist" as far as I'm concerned.
